Before & After ✨ We love a custom wholesale order with some variety. Wholesale mugs like these bright beauties for make amazing gifts for your clients, donors, family, and the list goes on!

Hunter Marze (.pots) has thrown thousands of excellent pots for us over the years. We're sad to see him go, but we know his next adventure in grad school is sure to make him an even more impeccable artist than he already is.

Fortunately for us, he has left us with some of his most recent work, for which he used his newly developed confetti glaze 🤩🎉

These stunning pieces are now available online and in our storefront. Some one-of-a-kind pieces are exclusively available in the storefront, so we recommended stopping by to see these pieces in person. The camera doesn't do them justice!

Although the slab mug process is completely different from our primary hand-thrown method, it isn't any less handmade. The slab cylinder of the mug is made like one giant stamp.

Today is the Day!!!!! Join us as we celebrate 15 years of business. Jonathan started this hand made pottery company out of our garage on Colcord (Waco peeps will know) and started selling to friends and family. This AMAZING Waco community kept supporting and kept buying until he was able to quit his day job and hire some others to help start producing hand made pottery to meet the demand and to serve a wider community of people. 4 studios later (not counting our garages), over 100 employees touching clay and helping customers, and 2000+ wholesale and retail customers around the country- I (Sara) sit here today immeasurably proud of what my husband built and what continues to grow and thrive today in honor of his passion and dedication to making hand made, affordable pottery to enrich the lives of those who use it daily.

We're so excited to share the details of our 15th Anniversary Event this weekend! Check out our stories for even more previews 👀 We can't wait to celebrate with you! 🎉

Keeping the men we love in mind, our second mug design with comes from Micah 6:8:

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐲 and to 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐲 and to 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐲 with your God.”

In a beautiful moss glaze, we are so thrilled with the craftsmanship of these mugs. Launching May 2!

SAVE THE DATE 📣 May 4th-6th 📣 We will be having a 3-day anniversary event to celebrate 15 years of serving Waco + business and families across the country with custom handmade pottery! Stay tuned for more details coming this week 🎉
